What is GitHub?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

GitHub is a commercial organisation that provides cloud-based Git repository hosting. It simplifies the use of Git for version control and collaboration by individuals and teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was established in 2008 and fact, was a much-needed platform for many. Mainly because it would enable too many minds to come together and collaborate over one platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
